Neuroanatomical study of the podocnemidid turtle Neochelys arenarum (Pleurodira), from the early Eocene of France. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Neochelys is an exclusively European Eocene podocnemidid genus belonging to a linage that reached this continent at the early Eocene. The so far available anatomical information about it is relatively abundant, especially considering that of its shell, at least partially preserved for the eight valid species currently considered.

Shell characterization of the youngest valid species of the European Eocene genus Neochelys (Pleurodira, Podocnemididae): The Spanish Bartonian Neochelys salmanticensis. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract The freshwater pleurodiran turtle Neochelys is the best‐represented member of Podocnemididae in the European record, being known by eight Eocene species. The youngest of them is the Bartonian (middle Eocene) Neochelys salmanticensis, from the Duero Basin (Salamanca Province, Central Spain).

Prehatch Calls and Coordinated Birth in Turtles. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe study investigates the phylogenetic distribution of within‐egg vocal behaviour among turtles and its role in synchronous hatching. Clutches from six turtle species with diverse ecological and reproductive niches were recorded, aiming to understand if asynchronous species vocalise from within the egg, the influence of clutch size on synchronous ...

Postcranial anomalies of Eocene freshwater pleurodiran and cryptodiran turtles from the Spanish Duero Basin. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Testudines are one of the best‐represented taxonomic groups among the Paleogene taxa of the Duero Basin (Castile and Leon Autonomous Community, central Spain). Among them, Neochelys (Podocnemidide) and Allaeochelys (Carettochelyidae) are most abundant, allowing the population to be assessed for osteological anomalies.

A bothremydid turtle (Pleurodira) from the middle Cenomanian of Vale de Figueira (Belas, Portugal). [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract An unpublished turtle shell from the middle Cenomanian of Vale de Figueira, near Belas (Lisbon District, Portugal), is recognized by us as collected in 1880 under the direction of Carlos Ribeiro. No turtle remains from that region had so far been figured, described or discussed from a systematic point of view.

Marine turtles are only minimally sexually size dimorphic, a pattern that is distinct from most nonmarine aquatic turtles. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Marine turtles are only minimally sexual size dimorphic, whereas nonmarine aquatic turtles typically exhibit female‐biased sexual size dimorphism. The reason for this difference is likely the sustained long‐distance swimming that characterizes marine turtle ecology, which entails significant energetic costs incurred by both sexes. Hence, the ability of

Unveiling the Evolutionary Lineages and Habitat Dynamics of the Monotypic Crowned River Turtle <i>Hardella thurjii</i> (Gray, 1831) (Testudines: Geoemydidae): Strategic Conservation Insights for an Endangered Freshwater Turtle From Southern Asia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study provides the first complete mitochondrial genome of the monotypic H. thurjii , sequenced using next‐generation technologies. Additionally, it employs ensemble species distribution modeling to evaluate habitat suitability and shape geometry under both current and projected climatic scenarios.
